Abstract

The purposed of this study were measured the radiation exposure of patients and workers by generators, and the protection state for radiation facilities. The subject of the study by X-ray generators in university hospitals of capital area, we measured the maximum irradiation condition of 80 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1 second in the control entrance, control room window, entrance of radiography, adjacent site. The leakage dose per week was which the control entrance was 0.11 mR/week, control room window was 0.15 mR/week, entrance of radiography was 0.12 mR/week and adjacent site was 0.06 mR/week with X-ray unit the mean And the leakage mean dose was 0.11 mR/week. Diagnostic X-ray tubes must ensure that the leakage radiation in the maximum leakage dose in week emitted by the tube outside the useful beam does not exceed certain levels provided by standards.

이 연구의 목적은 방사선 발생 장치에 의한 환자나 작업 종사자들의 피폭과 사용시설에 대한 방어 상태를 조사하는데 있다. 수도권 대학병원의 엑스선 발생장치들을 대상으로 관전압 80 kVp, 관전류 200 mA, 1 sec의 최대 조사조건하에서 제어실출입문, 제어실감시창, 촬영실출입문, 인접주위 등에서 측정하였다. 주당누설선량은 제어실 출입문에서 0.11 mR/week, 제어실 감시창에서 0.15 mR/week, 촬영실 출입문에서 0.12 mR/week, 인접 주위에서 0.06 mR/week로 측정되었다. 그리고 주당평균누설선량은 0.11 mR/week 이었다. 구해진 주당평균누설선량은 기준치 100 mR/week 이하로 나타났으나 누설선량은 주기적인 측정으로 관리가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
